Does that make sense? Or does it make more sense to put up a Christmas tree at Christmas? And what is Christmas again? At least traditionally? It's a celebration of the birth of ____________?

And like the secular world loves to point out...there is no evidence that Jesus was born on Christmas.
I do believe Anthony Cook provided a link that pointed out how the Pope made Christmas on December 25th...to not offend the Romans and their pagan rituals.
The Christmas tree has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ...it is NOT mentioned in the Bible...nor has Christianity 'ever' stressed having a Christmas tree placed there in order to worship the birth of Jesus Christ.
You're grasping for straws that don't exist.
